Hi, I'm turning 18 in a week (7/26) and I've been struggling with weight since 1st grade. I wanted to skip right to a tummy tuck and just be done with it but I want to keep the weight off so I'm trying the LAP-BAND® again (started with a LAP-BAND® program for teens but got discouraged). Just hoping to start college life off on the right foot, have fun and feel good about myself for once.
